Does this include the Gamecube training modes?

Very important for me, as I thought the Xbox Live version is pretty unplayable without the training modes.

It does not include the slow motion mode that was found in the Gamecube version (which is admittedly a bummer), but it does allow you to choose to play one specific stage if you want to replay a later level to get better at it without playing through the whole game again.

So is that the real only issue with the port? If so, then I'll be $10 poorer soon enough.

A serious bummer here, I'm not that hardcore that I'll replay the same level over and over again to learn. The slow-mo training mode made it so much easier to learn the levels, especially because you could train yourself in slices of the level, instead of all the way from the beginning every time.

I don't understand why they removed it.

I have the GC version and I avoid playing slow motion mode because my eyes(or brain whatever) got used to that speed and then I would suck at normal speed.

They didn't "remove" the feature, it was exclusive to the gamecube port of the game. The 360 port was different, and the PC port is a port of the 360 pot. That said, it's not a big deal to me.

I don't think exclusivity still counts after 12 years, I'm still really sad it wasn't also ported.

You don't seem to understand. The point he's making is that the training mode was developed for the Gamecube version. It would take a hell of a lot of work to go back to the Gamecube version, and port the training mode back from the Gamecube version of the game, to the PC version. For all we know, they might not even /have/ the Gamecube version's code around anymore. This isn't something worth complaining about, to be quite honest. You can replay stages, it seems, so you can definitely practice, and get better.

The PC port has unlimited continues unlocked from the start. Have at it.

[Melodia]

Unlimited continues AND stage select once you get to a level. Just play for 40 minutes to beat the game, then boom, practice.
